I've had some vermetids pop up and I have no idea where they arrived from.
I found them when putting new coral in the tank recently and the couple of existing frags I'd had in there never showed any sign of them.
The rock I have in the tank I got from someone who had vermetids a few years ago, but he'd stored the rocks outside for a couple of years. Don't think they'd have survived that
Anyway, I was planning on changing some scape and was wondering if just pulling rock and throwing it in fresh water for a time would do the job of murdering the little pests. After it's purged it would just go back in the sump.
Some of them I can glue shut but I don't think I'll be able to reach all of them by hand.
